Operation: Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum

[Mr. Analog]

And yes, Edison, technically inventive and highly developed business acumen, a good combination.

Also a thieving bastard. (See the above Oatmeal stuff)

That doesn't diminish the fact that he was actually inventive.

Not everyone who's successful in business is a robber baron, Edison was first to patent a lot of stuff that was in-progress for sure (just like Marconi or Alexander Graham Bell) but he had the smarts to keep inventing, create skunkworks, spread the tools to institutions (same as Bell).

He really pushed his own technology to financial benefit for sure, but he also really believed in it as well.

It's a classic rivalry

AFAIK Edison was more about hiring a bunch of low paid peons to do his work for him.

Wardenclyffe is, indeed, being [re-]built!

Yeah, I keep getting updates, I backed em in the campaign

In another, less stupid universe, William James Sidis has a museum for his amazing works.

Apparently Tesla had nothing on this prodigy, although he was way better at being a fantastic showman!
